NASHUA, N.H. —

The family of a man stabbed to death in Nashua last week packed a courtroom Monday, hoping to see the teenager charged in the case.

"He's seen the complaints. He knows what he's charged with," defense attorney Paul Borchardt said. "The arraignment wouldn't accomplish anything, so he didn't see the need."

Goff is accused of stabbing Benjamin Marcum to death on a bike path in Nashua. On Monday, a large contingent of Goff's friends showed up to support him.

"He's way too kind-hearted of a person to do something like this," said Gage Dry, a friend of Goff's.

Officials said the investigation into the killing is continuing.

"We've just gotten some new information in the last day or so about video surveillance footage that has been in the area," Senior Assistant Attorney General Ben Agati said. "We're trying to do our best to recover that."

Officials said there were other people in the area at the time of the stabbing, and witnesses have played a key role in the investigation.

"What I can say is that the Nashua Police Department has a very good handle on individuals who were present and what their different roles were that night," Agati said.

Although Goff is 17, Agati said that because he is charged with murder, he will be tried as an adult.
